Sea Level Research
Workshop
12th October 2020 - Bjerknes Center for Climate Research (BCCR), Bergen, Norway
Sea Level Change: Eath system feedback
Sea-level variability is characterized by multiple interacting components of the Earth system (i.e. atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere) that act over a wide spectrum of temporal and spatial scales Therefore, sea-level research must follow a multidisciplinary approach as it requires multiple skills to capture the cascade of processes characterizing the global and regional sea-level variability and trends.
The accurate estimate of the components contributing to the global sea-level and their role/impact at the regional scales is recognized by the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as one of the priorities for climate research duringthe next decades, with a large societal benefit and impact. Sea level is an essential climate variable(ECV) and considered a key climate indicator and at the same time represents one of the largest societal concerns about climate change, because of the potential impacts of sea-level rise on the large human population inhabiting the coastal regions and the loss of natural resources.
Research on sea-level change is challenging and requires cross-disciplinary skills to account for the unresolved feedbacks of the Earth system at the broad range of temporal and spatial scales.
The BCCR and its partners offer the scientific framework to meet such a challenge. This worshop initiative aims to define and implement such a framework for sea-level research
Purpose of the Workshop
The overall objective of the worshop is to foster the collaboration between the different partners of the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research (BCCR) on sea-level research and to set-up a Sea-level Research Group (SLRG).
Look at the Worshop Concept Note for further details.
